Yuge! Congressman Mark Meadows Wants To Use 10 USC 274/284 For The Border

Republican Congressman Mark Meadows said President Trump and Republicans should pursue other options to fortify our border.

Meadows suggest using 10 USC 274/284, which would allow the construction of fencing without congressional approval.
